:thumbs: And that way when he gets bored of it... he'll let you take it home! even better! thats just good thinking! nev Right on! I just hope it's not going to count against my raise ... I have to figure that one somehow ..

I am aware of that, so I'am taking a different approach. I'am talking my boss into an office one ...

Nice to feel welcome. Thanks guys. I have already posted some questions in Planted Tanks section ...

Hello everybody, I have few questions, and hope you can advise me ... Here is what I'm into. I have a 29g FW tank with 2 platies which has cycled. There are some plastic plants which I want to replace with real ones. My substrate is about 2" of GEO-system extra fine gravel for planted tanks and a thin layer of fine gravel (3-5mm) on the top. I have also (aside) a bag of SeaChem "First Layer" pure laterite and another bag (20lb) of the mentioned Geo-System gravel. My plan is to scrape off the top gravel, mix the laterite into what's left, put another bag of Geo-system gravel and put back the top gravel which I scraped off earlier. As far as ferilization of the plants go, I am thinking of using Seachem Flourish tabs, which I would stick into the substrate. 65W 6700k light is in order, and DYI CO2 unit in making. Plants will be fast growing and easy ones, like Wisteria, Val, Rotalia Indica, ... Am I on the right track with sustrate? With those tabs, do I need those liquid fertilizers? Is the selection of plants OK?

I have only 2 platies. I didn't want to add more before I put some plants in it. The tank has completed cycling, and the plan is to add some more lights (65W - ordered) and a DIY CO2 to promote quick and successful growth. I have done a lots of research on this topic, but hope to find some help here as well ...

Hi everybody ! Just found this forum and decided to join it. I'm from Calgary and I started my first tank (29g) couple of months ago. It was supposed to be my daughter's toy, but I have become hooked and took complete charge of it. Of course, she is still involved ... There are plenty of forums around, but I'm of opinion that local sharing of information and knowledge is invaluable. And here I am ...
